MERGED: Protest against Desperate Housewives

[LytSlpr]

---

mga amao man ang mga kano. Nagtuo sila nga sila ang sikat. Take a look at their weak currency weak economy. Sus, betcha hapit napud mangita ug gera ang kano para i-jump start ang economy. Nagtuo sila nga mas maayo ang kano nga doctor kaysa sa asians, o mga pinoy? Hoy, I believe nga mas daghan malpractice suits nila sa mga doctor nga dili pinoy! Ang ako tiyo nga doctor, ug iyang mga anak, hapit na ma doctor pud, naa sa east coast. And they are very respected doctors.

that's the ironic part. they treat us like trash and literally made our country their dumpster but we love them to death or "have to" love them.

tsk-tsk
its sad that just for being realistic.,we give up logic.
its not hard to spell respect, we know that. but we have to earn it.
it may sound funny for the Americans but we deal w/ it as Filipinos.
we are sensitive about it because we know that it was OUR failure as a PEOPLE.
Tommy Hilfiger is just one name. FILIPINOS mean one nation.
whoever makes fun of Imelda Marcos does not deal w/ the whole nation.
look into the damage...

Why are we over reacting that much? hehe. The truth hurts ba? or feeling guilty lang ta? Do you know that it is easy to buy a diploma in Recto Manila? Just pay 1,500 pesos and you will get a diploma from any medical school that you graduated from Nursing or doctor or something like that. E add pa to nga leakage nahh. We make jokes gani katong "miss teen usa who cannot find america in the map"? Plus pa ni nga ila president. Well that's life.

so so true.... guilty pud bya ta...pero di man pud nato sila i-make fun of sa GLOBAL television noh.

and as for the diploma-mill-ridden-recto graduates... well the truth will come out eventually kay di rin naman sila puwede practice sa abroad... i hope hehehehe

[color=navy]Personally, I find it a piece of irresponsible creative writing. Sure, it may seem humorous to some but it's no guarantee that everyone will find it funny.

I am not surprised that Filipinos and the Fil-Am communities in the United States are taking that punchline in a negative way to heart. Speaking from personal knowledge and experience, a lot of them knows what it is like to be made the butt of many racial jokes in their day-to-day environment but most can't fight back~ this is inevitable, it comes to a point when it's too much... particularly coming from a popular character of a popular primetime nationwide TV show.

Sad to say, this protest may serve in the show's benefit. I find a joke on the expense of someone else's dignity is a prank, a cheap shot and it is intentional. I am not surprised to find out if the director and producers to go through with the line. With the present low ratings of Desperate Housewives, some controversy would help put the show in the spotlight.
